Is this TSA approved? The obvious purpose is to have it on you at all times- it would suck to have it confiscated at security.

I'm not positive about this but I'm guessing it is not TSA approved because of the knife and fire starter.

I don't have this particular one...yet. However, to possibly help you with your question; I have the Bison Survival Pod which has a knife and fire starter. The knives in these pods/grenades are meant for use to scrape the the flint rod to start a fire with the tinder and they are so small they are difficult to hold on to when using them for their intended purposes (they work well though for that purpose). It is not meant for self-defense. I use mine as a zipper pull on my EDC bag. On a recent trip to Texas and back, I forgot to take it off the bag. It went through security both times without so much as a raised eyebrow from anyone. I don't have this particular one...yet.

Definitely not. Because of the knife and the fire starter for sure. Now, you may get away with bringing it on board, but don't plan on it. If you want something for defense on a plane, keep a ball point pen and a sharpie marker.

If the TSA has a problem with it, they're morons. Wait, we already know they are. Try it and report back!Seriously, though, they would have a hard time claiming the stove could be used as a weapon. As long as you don't try to light it in the aisle, you should be fine.

Why take a chance on having them reject it? If you put it in your luggage it will go through. Just don't put it in a carry on. Otherwise take a prepaid box big enough to ship it back to your self so that TSA doesn't keep it.

Although I saw it clearly pictured in one airport's TSA warnings (was it Spokane?) I've never been questioned about it in years. I carry so many pieces of electronic junk (chargers, cameras, etc.) that there may be a distraction factor working for me. At this point, I don't worry about it, if they take it, I can get another one. Knock wood, they'll probably confiscate it on my next flight...

I don't know how TSA guidelines would really apply as it pertains to flying to be honest. It comes well packages and I would have been comfortable traveling with it. It can be kept out of the fridge fort a time with no significant problems arising as well. As for an exact time, I cannot provide this. I would recommend just having it shopped to your home location

Question for the 2 people who answered, "Yes": Yes it can be taken on flights as a check in or Yes it has prohibited items per TSA?
1107585
TSA doesn't care. They will just take. They just took mine. You can't argue with them.

I'm no TSA agent but if it's sealed and in the box I wouldn't see why not. Steve~

Echoing Larry's response here as I and the person behind me with the EXACT same model (and color) got ours confiscated at security (September 2015). No matter what the battery says, if the scary security guy who speaks no english is not going to give it back to you, you are not getting it back. And don't try putting it in your luggage either. Fortunately, if you are flying a newer plane, they have usb ports in the seats .... yeah ... one thing the airlines do right to keep their customers happy on long flights.

I got my card through several different airports, but it was finally confiscated at the San Diego airport. It depends on the thoroughness (and mood) of the TSA personnel.

I have had a similar one for years, traveled extensively with it via airplane, and never had it given a second glance. I keep it in a computer bag. TSA is basically lame but it benefits me.

I cannot think of a reason why security would not allow this cane. You can probably call your airlines or the TSA to make sure.

I have never flown with it, but I have escorted my (minor) son through TSA/security with it many times, and never had a problem. I am always approached at the gate by attendants ready to load it for me (until they find out I am escorting only), so I assume that means it's ok. :)

if you check it in as baggage I do not see why not. If you are transporting firearms make sure you have a lock on it and you have TSA inspect everything before U lock it and walk away.

No. Look for an ATA approved case where you can use an external TSA-approved lock. I'm not sure if any built-in lock will be TSA approved.
953253
No - this is NOT TSA approved. I have had a few taken from me at the airports. But - you CAN put it in your checked luggage.

Check your With the Airline your flying with. , TSA may confiscate It Before You Board. I'm not saying its a weapon.,Lol But those Guys / Gals can be a little Crazy.
